There must be many monitor lizards in the Lake Gardens. Monitor lizards are nothing but lizards, very much bigger than the ordinary geckos in the living room and look many times as menacing with their thick, solid bodies of mottled shades of brown, black, gray, green, yellow, and blue. Their long necks, powerful tails and forked tongue remind of snakes and with four well-formed powerful limbs, it is no wonder Chinese call it four legged snake. Occasionally, monitor lizards would be sighted there at the Lake Gardens. A monitor lizard would saunter across your path as you jog or you would hear a plod as one plunges to take a dive in the lake. Once, I even came across one climbing up a tree! Their sharp claws enable that, I suppose.
Can you spot the four legged snake?
